Observation and description of changes in the world around us are
the first steps in finding and learning about patterns.
Investigation 1 Essential Question: What are some of the variables around us?
Notes:
1. The scale of a graph should always have the same interval.
2. Variables can change.
Investigation 1.1Making Graphs
A. Make a graph of your jumping jack data
Graph:
B. What does your graph show about jumping jack rate as time passes? (Another way to say this is, What does your graph show about the relationship between the number of jumping jack and time?)
Answer - I was jumping at a good and steady pace until the 100th second. I went really fast from 100 seconds to 110 seconds, but then i slowed down for the last 10 seconds. Usually, i would go faster at the end, but i thought that two minutes were over, when there were still 10 seconds left.
1.1 F.U
Question - Is the relationship you found between the number of jumping jacks and time easier to see in the table or graph? Explain your answer.Answer - It is much easier to see the relationship in the graph because the information is very clear. Also, in tables, I have to subtract to see the difference between the data, but in graph's I just have to see the distance between the coordinates to see the the difference.
